Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp pink food coloring
Topping:
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined to create a sandy mixture. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to form an even crust layer.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a mixer. Gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring. Continue beating until the filling is fully combined, fluffy, and has a uniform pink color.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the surface for an even layer.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to become sliceable.
- Add toppings and serve: Once set, top the cheesecake with whipped cream and optional sprinkles for decoration. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Make-ahead: These cheesecake bites can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator to save time.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Substitutions: Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free variation or swap cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative for dietary needs.
